Identity means
who I truly am or who I
believe I truly am. The
value that I place on my
perception of myself is
called
SELF-ESTEEM.
Forming identity is the
heart of self-esteem.
Forming identity is the
most serious function of
adolescence, the period
between ages 12 and 25.
Without a well-formed
identity a person will
encounter one problem
after another during
adult life.
Parents and teachers
establish the foundation
for IDENTITY FORMATION
through practices that
support growth
in
security, autonomy,
initiative,
and
industry.
Self-esteem is a
by-product of these
elements.
